Drucilla..
The Netherlands isn't Belgium !
Mortal insult to anyone living in Belgium !
Officialy both countries speak "Nederlands" but that's as far as the comparison goes !

Poor Mr Pep. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

BWHAaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nederland, TX.. it's in Texas, a suburb of Beaumont. Famous for the Klu Klux Klan! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Nothing at ALL to do with the Netherlands.

This IS a Texas thread... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Much abliged! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> (yankees: google it!)

Nope, BA... some of those are just stoopid...

[color:"blue"]1. TEXAS[/color] Nope, not discussed. There is nothing outside the world of TEXAS, so discussing Texas specifically doesnt happen

[color:"blue"]2. Why Pepsi is #2 to Coke[/color] Sorry, Mel's a Company Man... it really is Dr. Pepper. PEPSI was invented in the NORTH (Carolina <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />). Coke in Atlanta. Dr. Pepper in TEXAS!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[color:"blue"]3. Why Texans are far superior to non-Texans[/color] Again, universal truths are seldom discussed and never debated

[color:"blue"]4. Being Southern[/color] see #3

[color:"blue"]6. Why would anyone want to be non-Texan[/color] this NEVER comes up

[color:"blue"]8: How to pack a big gun widdout shootin yer eye out![/color] Common knowledge to any Texan over the age of 4. NOT a topic of discussion

Y'all forgot some very important ones:

11. why foreigners are so silly

12. why yankees are so silly

13. why do yankeegals run around flatheaded when there is Aquanet available? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

14. how do ya cook a good brisket?

15. Canadians and Okies are too dang polite

16. why do silly foreigners let dingoes eat their babies?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

and the most imporant topic of discussion:

WHO THE HALE IS JUSTUSS????? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can one up ya' Dru, we have one in Port Arthur. I was in Texas 4 days when I was graced with the opportunity of going to our Port Arthur facility. Now keep in mind I am a Yankee by birth...The guy I went with is from the NW originally but had been in TX a while. He drove. It took us 4 hours to get from Houston to Port Arthur because he got us lost. We came in through Sabine Pass. Stopped at a Chevron station to ask directions to our hotel. While there, my co-worker also asked for directions to the best restaurant in town...She told us first go to the restaurant because it was "just out the causeway" and, then, when we were done eating go to the hotel. Her directions told us to turn left at the Chevron station that is about 2 miles down the road...

First the restaurant - formica table tops with a garbage can next to each table and a roll of paper towels on the table. The ONLY thing on the menu was shelled seafood or frog legs. Since I am allergic to seafood, I had to eat frog legs. I thought I had died and gone you know where...

We ventured our way toward our hotel following the attendant's directions...We just a block or so down the road and there's a Chevron station. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Okay, we knew she said about 2 miles down the road, so we decided to go a little further...next block, another Chevron station....there's a Chevron station on EVERY corner in Sabine Pass!!!! Sooooo, we stopped for directions again. This time we got an old guy with few teeth. He told us go a mile down the road to "sandy fish street." My co-worker asked him to repeat what he said, again he said "sandy fish street." We both heard him but thought hmmmm. Co-worker asked him to repeat again and the guy said the same thing. Finally, my co-worker asked the guy, "Excuse me, but what kind of fish street." The guy replied by making the number 75 in the air and saying, "sandy fish street."!!!! I will also tell you all Holiday Inn's are NOT created equal!!!!

Our meetings were equally intriguing because I was the ONLY woman in a meeting of about 75 men!

Ahhhh, yes, lovely Port Arthur!

Regards,

BB

oh... that's sebendy-fy, not sandy-fish... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Sandy-fish would have confused me, too. LOL.

Ditto on the all male meetings. About once ever 10 minutes one of them would say something obnoxious, then look at me and say, 'pardon my French' <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />. I've managed to miss Froglegs, but I've had rattlesnake!



I got my Justuss... packed away in my purse <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />. It was so odd to realize that women in California didnt have revolvers in their purses. They all had such tiny bags, I figured they must all carry Darringers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Fine Texas Head Wear

and perfectly aged, mind you.

Say what?? Those silly left coast gals aren't packing any heat?? What if they have to shoot someone?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Dru:

I was in Houston for a conference the very week after PeTe's closed.

All of NASA was in a tailspin over that. Some of us still are!

My W forwarded me this joke this morning. We MUST be in recovery!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Southern Grandma

Lawyers should never ask a Southern grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.

He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the electric chair."
